It’s in Israel, and in some people’s eyes Israel is bad because of their ongoing geographical conflict with Palestine.

The issue with boycotting it is that people (generally on the left of politics looking to feel morally superior) love to forget that Israel remains the only place in the Middle East to celebrate or even allow homosexuality, and not treat woman as second-class citizens. As such, it’s the only place in the Middle East even remotely capable of hosting such an inclusive event.

Israel is not even in Europe as well as Australia. White people vision.

Eurovision relates to the european broadcasting group that israel is a part of not the continent of europe.

The boycott is being suggested because of the Netanyahu governments actions related to Palestine. It is perfectly reasonable for “left wing people looking to feel morally superior” to have enouhh nuance and capacity to understand issues that they can not be ok with these actions while LGBT rights are in a better state in the same country...

i know that UKRAINE have withdrawn from the contest because RUSSIA are taking part and that's a shame as they had a good song - siren song (bang) while Russia are sending in Sergey Lazarev with quite a poor balled compared to his strong you are the only one which nearly won. eurovision fans should check out Nicki french's new eurovision single which has some terrific mixes from matt pop of you are the only one and a terrific Hi-nrg version of her 2000 u.k. entry don't play that song again (CHECK OUT ENERGIZE RECORDS)
